Redoute's Flowers reproduces a selection of the remarkable paintings of this supreme botanical illustrator, the producer of masterly illustrations of both popular and newly discovered species of flower. The text considers the major events of the artist's life and, in particular, his relationship with the Empress Josephine Bonaparte, under whose patronage Redoute produced some of his most famous work: the pictorial documentation of the flowers collected by Josephine and cultivated in the Bonapartes' garden at Malmaison.
